I am trying to determine if Eclipse on Windows add control-M characters. I have not seen any setting for it in Preferences->Text Editors.
If I don’t see Control M characters using vi -b on Linux, can I conclude that control-M characters are not present when using eclipse on Windows?

    I finally found under Window > Preferences > General > Workspace the next text file line delimiter preference. Default is the delimiter of the OS you are using Eclipse on, but you can change that.

    Preference for text file line delimiter

    That means that when you now change a file (coming from Linux) under Windows, and you have not changed the default, the line end convention (of the existing file) will be kept (New text file line delimiter), but if you create a new file, the convention of your current OS (Windows) will be used.
